I teach a student-athlete leadership class that helps to develop and encourage our athletes on campus to take on a leadership role in all aspects of their lives - in the classroom, during practice, while playing, as well as with their friends. We read high-interest books that focus on a growth mindset and how to be a leader; students also participate in Socratic seminars to help them understand and appreciate what they have reading through meaningful discourse. The book selected for this project will help students understand the importance of a growth mindset, while also learning valuable and applicable strategies that they can apply to their lives so that they can become the best leaders possible.
